R33 Strut Brace Install Question

[bombastic]

Hey guys

On my R33 there are some welds between bits of the chassis, right where the strut brace will bolt on. If I install it then the parts of the brace which secure to the car won't sit flush with the chassis due to the welds (~1-2mm high). Should I get some washers to space it out a bit so there's no force on the welds? Or just screw it down hard and ignore it?

Can take pics if the above doesn't make sense.

Cheers!

I don't think its a weld its just a think bead of sealant

if thats the case, should be able to get rid of it. Just becareful not to scratch the paint.

Hey, you were right, it's a line of sealant, just looked like a weld to me, but touching it I found that it's soft-ish. Thanks!
